Thailand is South East Asia’s largest car market, a future Tesla market, and a potential Tesla Gigafactory location. In this video, I have the honor of speaking with Dr. Yossapong Laoonual to learn about the future of Electric Vehicles (EVs) in Thailand. He’s the Head of Mobility and Vehicle Technology Research Center (or MOVE) at King Mongkut’s University of Technology Thonburi (KMUTT), and also the founding member and honorary chairman of Electric Vehicle Association of Thailand (EVAT).
